He, was almost impossible to fit in any type of saddle. When I first bought him, all I could get on him was a bareback riding pad. Now that he's lost weight, I can just get the Aussie saddle on him, and I managed a XXL 17 inch Passier English Saddle on him. However I found that they just fit him. I think that with more work and him dropping some more weight, things will fit a lot better.
